No seats, just an old room in a store... around 250-400 people, maybe.

Ya, so me and Kevin show up at around 5:15, sat around till the doors opened at 6:00.

People start moving, we get searched, and we get inside.

I was shocked...

The concert was in an old Montgomery Ward building that was renovated into a mall-type thing... They call it Montgomery World Plaza...

Anyways, the concert was in what looked like a dance hall or something. There was a wooden dance floor, and a counter area that looked like it used to be a bar... The room was about.. eh... 35-50 feet wide, slimming as you went towards the back... and there was probably 25yd between the stage and the back wall..

There was probably around 250-400 people inside...

The Starting Line Comes out, I didn't even know who they were, so I thought it was No Use For A Name, they played about six songs, mosh pits, jumping around, the crowd swaying left to right all that good stuff. They kicked arse, then I found out it was not No use for a name, which was all cool... more bands to watch. They got excellent crowd reaction.

Break time, me and kevin go piss, and run some water over our sweaty heads... we were seriously dripping.

No Use For A Name comes out, getting a very good crowd reaction, the crowd starts jumping around and moving.. I was pushed up behind one of the most beatiful girls I have ever seen for most of their set, so that was all good

Most of their set, the younger crowd (My self) didn't recognize, but their new stuff like "Dumb Reminders" really got people going... I got pushed into a pit, and I was all off balance trying to get out, so me and this dude with a mohawk run headlong into eachother. Ouch.

Break time: Back to the bathroom, get soda.

Sum41

Amazing. The dark skinned geetarist (I cannot remember his name, and don't know what race he is, so don't get mad.) Is the most underrated player in the POP(Happy now?) punk world that I can think of.

They started out the set with songs i didn't know, the crowd was going crazy, people pushing and shovin... Then they go into Fat Lip, which drove everyone crazy... we were all singing along... and instead of "What would you expect with a conscience so small" it was "What would you expect with a (Insert word for male genetalia) so small?"

Then they played a love song about Anna Nicole Smith. The only love song they have. It was titled "Anna Nicole Smith is a STUPID F#%!*& C@^$" That was funny.

Then hell song, then something else... then something else... then still waiting... then they asked what songs we wanted to hear...he was all "You #%@^$^ probably wanna hear some Avril Lavigne #@%%"... we were all screaming motivation... but some arse yelled "Korn" so the u83r geetarist dude started playing blind, but then derryck was all "isn't korn from bakersfield?" we semi-cheer... and he was all "F$%@ KORN AND AVRIL LAVIGNE TO!!! SCREW KORN! HERE IS SOME REAL METAL!" And they play a bit of Nothing Else Matters. everyone was happy. I think I was the first one to realize it was metallica.(EDIT: For all you people who just love pointing it out, the metallica thing they did, they did as a joke, they, as well as everyone in that room, knew damned well that nothing else matters is not metal. Get off your high horse.)

Then more stuff... then they played "Grab the devil by the horns" and we were like WOOT! And ya... Then they left... then we made them come back, they played motivation, then pain for pleasure... and then the show was over.

I loved it. LOVED IT.

Mosh pit stories: I stayed away from the pits when I could, I got pushed in, and then I was trying to get out, but then me and some dude with a mohawk run headlong into eachother.

Someone posted candid pics of here one here once, in which she is not wearing makeup. If you think she is hot or you are about to have a meal, you do *not* want to see those pics.

Pamela Lee is even worse than Avril without makeup.

I know some smarty pants is going to ask me this question eventually, so here is my answer.

Question: "That concert doesn't sound so great, in fact, it probaby actually sucked. Why are you so wound up over it?"

Answer:

Because the crowd was so small, but there was so much energy. There were no seats, everyone was crunched together in a small dance hall, sweating all over the place and eachother.

Being on the floor for the first time was amazing. I don't think I can ever go to a concert again and not be on the floor, I would know what I am missing and I would hate it.

There is something about being within 10 feet of the band, having them make eye contact with you, and interact with YOU.

Also, I caught 2 water bottles, one during NUFAN and the other during sum41, and I dumped it all over myself. If you are sitting in the seats in big arenas, you either get to sit there and be cold, or fry in the hot sun.
